Luhrs Marine Group - the builder of Silverton, Luhrs, Mainship and Ovation
boats - went into shutdown mode beginning Monday, the company confirmed to
Soundings Trade Only.
The Millville, N.J.-based company said in a message to its dealers that it
would shut down production for 60 to 90 days to allow boat orders to
accumulate in its pipeline.
"As everyone will agree, we have all been affected in some way or another by
these hard economic times the past three years," the company said. "We have
fought hard to avoid this decision, but it is the best solution to the
current state of affairs."
The company told its dealers, "We hope you will continue to promote our
products and keep in touch with our sales team so that with your help we can
again start producing the excellent products of the

The shutdown does not impact Florida-based Hunter Marine Corp., which is
still in production.
